Ghana’s Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrissu, has disclosed that some Ghanaian high school students are using tablets provided to them by the government of Ghana to watch pornography.
According to the Minister, aside watching pornographic contents, some students are using the tablets for other non-academic activities.
He made this known in Parliament on Thursday, November 27, 2025.
He stated that about 980,000 of the 1.3 million tablets distributed to Senior High Schools across Ghana still need to be fully customized and restricted to academic use.
Mr. Iddrissu says “I inherited a contract with $337 million where some 1.3 million tablets were to be distributed across the country to all free senior high schools so that learners can have access to digital tools.”
He added that “I am told that the deployment of that is around 980,000.”
According to him, “Mr. Speaker, my attention was drawn to the fact that many of the devices are not customized and the students are using them for other purposes, including pornography, which is not acceptable.”
He added that “Mr Speaker, the government is taking a high view of it, and there must be restrictions as to what the tablets can be used for, and they should be used strictly for the purpose of study.”
